Per the stackapps about page "This site supports the API". So all other meanings of "scripts" or "user-scripts" are either not relevant or fall under the app tag (plus, possibly, language-specific tags). (So far there have been no exceptions anyway).

Notes:

I believe that only a moderator or dev can do this, since there are not enough power-users on stackapps for the normal synonym process.

It's redundant if there's no need for a tag to relate to userscripts without the actual content of the question being a post for a userscript, which I'm not positive of. I will take a closer look sometime this evening, though.

Okay, I didn't quite do what you wanted, but hopefully you'll find the solution I came up with acceptable.

user-script is now a synonym of script, and I went through and retagged all questions that were about userscripts (but weren't posts intending to make a script available) with just scripts.

Admittedly the distinction may not be immediately obvious to users, but given the low traffic it should be fairly easy to enforce. I will add a description on scripts in a bit to try and clarify things.

It might be clearer if "scripts" was renamed "scripting". "scripts" could be a synonym of that, just in case.

I went ahead and suggested the wiki edits. Trying to be helpful; let me know if it was annoying instead.

Hmm, yeah, I'll think on the name. I went with the plural form because it's what Jeff used in the faq post, but that doesn't mean it's most appropriate. I also went and approved your edits, thanks a lot for that!
